Bob,

It seems to me that this change should be made to the standard DocBook XSL sheet?

 

I cannot think of a situation where you would not want captions stuck to mediaobjects on the same page. Maybe if the caption was a paragraph long? Maybe it would be too constrictive?

 

Regards,

Dean Nelson

Hi Paul,

The formal.object.properties attribute-set is applied to formal objects, which are numbered and titled elements including figures, tables, examples, and equations.  It is not applied to mediaobject with caption.

 

I think the easiest way to do this would be to customize the template that matches on caption.  It is a very short template, found in fo/graphics.xsl.  I changed it to add two keep properties to the fo:block:

 

<xsl:template match="caption">
  <fo:block keep-with-previous.within-column="always" keep-together.within-column="always">
    <xsl:if test=" <at> align = 'right' or <at> align = 'left' or <at> align='center'">
      <xsl:attribute name="text-align"><xsl:value-of
                         select=" <at> align"/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

It seems to work in FOP.

Subject: [docbook-apps] mediaobject that will display as a block

I'm hoping to keep a <mediaobject> and <title/caption> on the same page in the FO output to pdf.

Using Oxygenxml v13 with Saxon6.5.5 with Apache FOP.

Have tried <mediaobject> and <informalobject> without success as some of the <title/caption> flows to the next page. 

How can I avoid this?

I have 

<mediaobject>

   <imageobject>

     <imagedata/>

     <title/caption/>

   </imageobject>

</mediaobject>

that I want to keep together on the same page when transformed to pdf.

Simply what I getting at the end of a pdf is the following:

<imagedata/>

page-break

<caption/>

and I want to avoid the break in between.

I have also added the formal.object.properties parameter to the list in Oxygenxml, as it was not listed - to no avail.

With thanks

Paul
